Option #1: go the path you are trying Option #2: use ViewFlipper or ViewSwitcher for parent container and have it handle changing the children > I've instantiated the container layout (mContainerLayout) by finding > it using the id through the maine Activity layout.

Try removing the single view representing the "inner layout" instead of the whole view tree. In other words, use removeView() instead of removeAllViews(). Personally, I typically just use ViewFlipper, so it can handle this case, plus give me the option for animating the transition between child views if I so choose. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 2.0 Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
